I wonder if the chocolate manufacturers will launch multiple criminal defamation suits as they believe the speaker in the OP has caused damage to their reputation that resulted in a loss of profit?

I really hope so but they probably realise they are dealing with a bunch of 5 year olds pretending  to be clever

These two sound a bit dodgy ..

Lotte Ghana Black Chocolate Extra Cocoa
Lotte Ghana Extra Cacoa Black

 

I wonder if Nigeria makes chocolate too ?

Ghana is one the worlds leading exporter of cacoa beans.

 

Coffee as well. When I lived there so much of the coffee beans were for export that the only available coffee was instant Nescafé shit. 

 

But I did live in a fairly isolated region of the country.

And no Thai company listed of course, Thailand the hub of monopolies.

Thai companies don't use chocolate, only some chemical produce taste like chocolate copy.

Sometimes a particular natural substance has naturally occurring things we consider bad. Is this true in this case?

Getting from the pod of the cacao to chocolate requires a lot of processing.   The more processing that something goes through, then the greater the chance of contamination.

The truth is out. A KitKat puts lead in your pencil. A tasty alternative to those blue tablets.

I still refuse to knowingly buy ANY Nestles products after their drinking water monopoly admissions several years ago. Even at a restaurant, when I order bottled water, if it is Nestle I send it back.
